Where else on the web does everyone hang out? (normalcity.life)

I’m really curious where else everyone here hangs out on the internet besides Lemmy.

I myself am frequently on discord with my wife and friends playing games. I’ve also found myself in and around smaller blogs spaces like Kev Quirk and related people. Reddit used to be a place for me to hang out but I never found a community that I felt connected to. I don’t know if YouTube would be considered a place to hang out, but I frequently spend way more time there than I should. IRC used to be a great place for me.

So, where are your favorite places?

Discord for games with friends, and for a couple niche pieces of software too small for forums.

Lemmy for broad-appeal topics like world news and less niche tech.

And Im not sure if it still counts when I just lurk now, but Reddit for everything else, since none of it moved over to lemmy. Gaming subreddits, more niche tech, history and accedemic topics, local and lifestyle stuff, ect.

Discord, discuit, twitch, feeder (foss rss feed)

[–] amitten@normalcity.life 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Woah I've never heard of discuit before. Looks really cool. How long have you been on there?

[–] newtraditionalists@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Since the reddit api exodus. It's a small community, but feels very tight knit. It's also the least toxic place out of those I listed, excepting rss.

I second Discuit. It was started in response to the Reddit API shenanigans last June. It seems to have avoided the spam and instability that have plagued Lemmy (at least so far).

[–] Ringmasterincestuous@aussie.zone 2 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I refuse to click on the reddit link the creator posted describing what discuit is. Looks like a non-federated appless Kbin?

[–] kersploosh@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

It's a centralized Reddit clone. Ad-free, at least for now. Supposedly the creator plans to open up the source at some point in the future. There's at least one app I'm aware of (Diskette for Discuit).

Edit: Here is an introduction written by the creator.
